At R's request he went to buy some socks at Walmart
with his cousin Sara after work experience. He came home with 2 packs of socks.
Socks that he has never, EVER had before. He picked them out, paid for them and
seemed quite excited about it all.

Conversation he had later with G over Mr. Noodles:

G: So I hear you bought some new socks today.
R: Yeah I did!
G: Where did you buy them?
R: At Walmart with my cousin Sara.
G: How many did you buy?
R: 2 packs.
G: How much did they cost?
R: *Without hesitation and very
confidently* 2 dollars!

Ummmmm....not exactly. One of the downsides of
always using a debit card?!?!?

Keeping my fingers crossed that he will wear them.

UPDATE: He has been wearing the NEW socks happily
every day since. Then again...there are no other socks in his dresser drawer. :D
